Single Malt Whisky Reviews from Australia

Also tried at the fantastic Bar Gravity in Tokyo near JR Ebisu Station.

Notes

Eye: Golden amber

Nose: Peat is obvious, but different to Islay peat. Quite savoury with hints of BBQ and iodine.

Palate: Could easily be mistaken for Islay. Sweet peat and a very grungy ashy mouthfeel.

Finish: Sweet peat with a long rich malty finish. Savoury notes continue. Salty.

This tastes nothing like a 4yr old whisky, it is refined and has a mouthfeel and complexity well beyond its years. Ichiro Akuto really knows how to make great whisky.
